St Mary's Upton
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The charity directs its giving through mission links to link missionaries and mission organisations, including missionary societies, relief and development agencies, home missions and other church societies, and its stated priorities are Europe and Africa, so a request tied to mission work in those areas fits best.
- No grant range is published, so the annual report gives no typical grant size; its total giving of £88,036 may include grants to individuals, so treat it as a rough guide to scale only.
- No application process is published, so the most practical first step is to get in touch through the contact shown in the annual report, its register entry or its website.
- Its approach is described as partnership-based and it encourages practical links between home groups and missionaries, so a request that explains an existing link to the work is likely to be the strongest way in.
